The 18Xray by Darrel Ralph Designs has been a very popular automatic opener. It also has an NSN of 1095-01-568-8897.
The 18Xray is made from 154-CM premium grade stainless steel. It has a blade length of 3-13/16 inches and an overall length of 8-7/8 inches with anodized 6160 aluminum slabs which incorporate a lanyard hole as well as pocket clip. It’s quite a robust knife which integrates Darrel’s SAS (Slide Auto Safety). Instead of a simple button that can actuate in your pocket, with the SAS you have to push the button forward and down to open the blade. It also offers a very positive lock.

Looking at a replacement for this Lone Wolf LOBO I carry and this might be a ticket worth feeling in my hand. Thanks, SSD. Now off to find the price – not to bitch, but to tell the wife what I need allocated.
Just do an Internet search. They are available from several dealers.
I’ve been carrying one of these for a little over a year now. I had the original version of this knife (Gen 1) for several years and the auto button popped off. I sent it in for warranty repair after it sat in my drawer for a couple of years. They sent me a brand new Gen 2 knife as a replacement. I only had to pay shipping. I can’t say enough about their great customer service.
